Snow provokes responses that reach right back to childhood.Andy Goldsworthy
This morning I walked the perimeter of Forest Park with gym friends with a weighted backpack. It was cold and good for the legs and good for the soul.
We drove to Washington to deliver my dad's belated bday gift. Sometimes a drive is so nice. We visited with my parents (with masks on, dear reader -- hopefully my mom will be vaccinated soon!) and somehow we left with banana chocolate chip muffins, a half dozen doughnuts, a pearl necklace of my grandmother's, two costume necklaces for the girls, a Danish whisk, shampoo and conditioner (trial size), shampoo (Costco size), La Croix, a twelve pack of Truly ("a mistake. They have booze in them!"), and four frozen filet mignons.
[Yesterday I was laughing because my sister and I both loved THE SAME heart charm on the Ylang Ylang page (out of 30 heart items!) and today I saw a packing slip at my mom's ... for the very same Supergoop product I have in my online cart! Sharing a syncytial consciousness is weird.]
Arriving home a dusting of snow began to fall. I cleaned out the coop while the girls terrorized played with the chickens. (The girls are always determined to keep them out of "the side forest" - a decidedly un-forestlike strip of trees and vines between us and our neighbor - and just as determinedly the chickens gravitate toward the side forest.)
this berm will be planted with fruit trees soon! |
